Mindset Lounge with Morgan

They walked away from six years of engineering degrees, turned down an $80k job and everyone around them thought they were crazy.In this episode I sit down with Sam & James Board (the Board Twins) to unpack how two "C-grade students" from a small UK town went from making $1,000 a month between them to building a multi-million dollar online coaching business and the mindset shifts that actually made it happen. We get into why they chose learning over earning, how confidence is built (hint: it's not affirmations in the mirror), and the obsessive "growth season" nobody warns you about but almost everyone successful goes through. This one is packed for anyone who feels stuck in a job that isn't the dream, scared to bet on themselves, or waiting until they "feel ready" to start.If you've ever known you're meant for more but fear keeps talking you out of the leap, this episode is for you!In this episode we cover:- Why "learning over earning" is the mindset that changes everything- How to build real confidence through competence- Why making decisions faster (even the wrong ones) is the #1 skill for success- The obsessive growth season and why it's necessary- How your environment quietly raises the ceiling on what you believe is possible- Staying calm when it all goes wrongYou can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrettConnect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: [email protected]📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrettTIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Intro01:00 – Six years of engineering degrees… then walking away04:30 – Turning down the safe job with zero clients (and mum in tears)09:00 – "Learning over earning": the mindset that kept them going13:00 – The days that feel pointless are the ones building everything17:00 – Where confidence really comes from (it's not affirmations)22:00 – Coaching for $40/month on purpose — killing imposter syndrome28:00 – Why decision-making is the most important skill in life34:00 – Burning through all their cash… and laughing through it41:00 – The obsessive growth season and what it costs you48:00 – Protecting your relationships while you're "all in"55:00 – What success actually looks like now + Coach Vault

You can't just wish your way to your dream life - you have to become the person who already lives it.In this episode I sit down with Bec Stewart, founder of the habit-tracking brand The Habit Tracker, to unpack the "Future You" concept that quite literally changed both our lives. We get into identity shifts, aligned action, and why manifestation only works when you pair it with the discipline to show up as your future self before you become her. Bec built her business and manufactured her own "luck" over a decade — no overnight success, no shortcuts — and she breaks down the exact mindset that makes the top 1% of women unfuckable-with. This is the manifestation-meets-strategy conversation I wish I'd had years ago.If you've ever felt stuck, like you're chasing goal after goal without ever feeling like you've arrived, this episode is for you!In this episode we cover:The "Future You" filter — how to make every decision as the person you're becomingWhy luck is manufactured, not given (and how to make yourself "luckier")The habit-tracking hack that rewires consistency through small dopamine winsHow to reverse-engineer the identity of the top 1% womanChoosing the better thought — the two-arrows approach to bad daysWorking in seasons instead of trying to do it all at onceThe 10-year truth behind every "overnight success"You can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrettConnect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: [email protected]📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett🥦 1:1 Health & Fitness Coaching Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/250682685688071🔗 Velocity Activewear code MORGAN https://velocityactivewear.com.au/?ref=MORGANELDRETTTIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Intro01:12 – Rapid fire: best and worst habits right now02:47 – Why habit tracking completely changed Bec's life04:43 – The first habit she ever tracked (peak F45 era)06:35 – Who is "Future You" and why she's your North Star08:49 – Is Future You just manifestation?

She made her first million at 19, has done 12 bodybuilding shows this year and she doesn't have a single social media account.This week's guest is one of my closest friends and one of the most quietly impressive people I know: a self-made multimillionaire who deleted every socials app almost a decade ago and never looked back. We talk about what actually builds wealth (not just money), why she thinks social media is stealing your time and your confidence, and how a kid born in a caravan park went on to build a life most people only scroll past. This one is a masterclass in mindset, discipline, taking the risk, and doing it all for YOU - not for anyone watching.If you've ever caught yourself saying "I don't have time" while your screen time says otherwise, this episode is for you!In this episode we cover:Why she deleted social media 8 years ago and what it did for her focus, wealth and confidenceThe difference between making money and actually building wealth (most people never learn this)How to take the risk when fear and "what will people think" are holding you backWhy the back end matters more than the front end — in business, bodybuilding and lifeThe heart scare at 29 that made her choose freedom over moneyBorn in a caravan park to 25 cars: the mindset shift that changed everythingYou can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack!📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morgane...Connect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: [email protected]📸 Instagram:   / mindsetloungepodcast  📸 Instagram:   / morganeldrett  📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldret...🖥️ YouTube:    / @morganeldrett  🥦 1:1 Health & Fitness Coaching Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/250682685688071

What if caring less is exactly what made her one of the fastest women in the country?Bree Masters is an Olympic 100m sprinter and the first Aussie in over two decades to make an Olympic sprint semi-final. She got there by refusing to take it all too seriously.In this episode we dig into the Olympic mindset most athletes get wrong: how she handles nerves and pressure by leaning into them, why she never had a post Olympic comedown, and how she started track at 23 when everyone assumes it's "too late." Bree's whole approach is a masterclass in staying carefree, enjoying the process, and building an identity beyond sport so one bad race never breaks you.If you've ever put so much pressure on yourself that it stole the joy out of the thing you love, this episode is for you!In this episode we cover:Why starting a new sport at 23 was her biggest advantage, not a setbackHow to use nerves as fuel instead of letting them wreck your performanceThe truth about the "Olympic comedown" and why she skipped it entirelyHandling online hate and keyboard warriors after a very public mistakeWhy consistency — not talent — is the thing that actually compoundsBuilding an identity beyond your sport so you never lose yourselfYou can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrettConnect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: [email protected]📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett🔗 Velocity Activewear code MORGAN https://velocityactivewear.com.au/?ref=MORGANELDRETTTIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Intro01:00 – Bree's "three lives": dance, beach sprinting, track06:30 – Why she started track at 23 (and why it's never too late)13:00 – Racing the best in the world & the candle analogy18:00 – How to handle nerves: why being nervous means you care26:00 – Dealing with pressure, expectation & online hate34:00 – The dropped baton, keyboard warriors & "be a goldfish"44:00 – The lonely reality of chasing the Olympics overseas52:00 – Qualifying by one spot: the most stressful months of her life60:00 – The post-Olympic comedown she never had68:00 – Identity beyond sport & life after retirement75:00 – Her one takeaway: consistency beats everything
